Shipping hardware removal

The server is secured with shipping hardware during the original product shipment. The location any type of shipping hardware installed depends on whether the server was a BTO or a CTO shipment.

• The front drive cages of a server shipped on its own (BTO) are secured by shipping screws installed on the sides of the chassis.

• The front drive cages of a server shipped in a rack (CTO shipment) are secured by shipping screws installed on the rack ears. In addition, the serveris also secured to the rack rails by two rear shipping brackets.

Remove these shipping hardware prior to initial server setup.
